Requirements Under Sections 311 and 

312 of the Emergency Planning and 

Community Right-to-Know Act 

(EPCRA), EPA ICR Number 1352.13, 

OMB Control Number 2050–0072 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is planning to submit an 

information collection request (ICR), 

‘‘Community Right-to-Know Reporting 

Requirements under Sections 311 and 

312 of the Emergency Planning and 

Community Right-to-Know Act 

(EPCRA), EPA ICR Number 1352.13, 

OMB Control Number 2050–0072 to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for review and approval in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). 

Before doing so, EPA is soliciting public 

comments on specific aspects of the 

proposed information collection as 

described below. This is a proposed 

extension of the ICR, which is currently 

approved through April 30, 2015. An 

Agency may not conduct or sponsor and 

a person is not required to respond to 

a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before February 2, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

referencing Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

SFUND–2004–0006, online using 

www.regulations.gov (our preferred 

method), by email to superfund.docket@

epa.gov or by mail to: EPA Docket 

Center, Environmental Protection 

Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200 

Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Supporting documents which explain in 

detail the information that the EPA will 

be collecting are available in the public 

docket for this ICR. The docket can be 

viewed online at www.regulations.gov

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments 

and information to enable it to: (i) 

Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (ii) evaluate the 

accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (iv) minimize the burden 

of the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through 

the use of appropriate automated 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. EPA will consider the 

comments received and amend the ICR 

as appropriate. The final ICR package 

will then be submitted to OMB for 

review and approval. At that time, EPA 

will issue another Federal Register 

notice to announce the submission of 

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. 

Abstract: The authority for these 

requirements is sections 311 and 312 of 

the Emergency Planning and 

Community Right-to-Know Act 

(EPCRA), 1986 (42 U.S.C. 11011, 11012). 

EPCRA Section 311 requires owners and 

operators of facilities subject to OSHA 

Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) 

to submit a list of chemicals or MSDSs 

(for those chemicals that exceed 

thresholds, specified in 40 CFR part

1The term ‘‘state’’ is defined in this document as 

defined in CERCLA section 101(27). 

2The term ‘‘Indian tribe’’ is defined in this 

document as it is defined in CERCLA section 

101(36). Intertribal consortia, as defined in the 

Federal Register Notice at 67 FR 67181, Nov. 4, 

2002, are also eligible for funding under CERCLA 

section 128(a). 

3Categorical grants are issued by the U.S. 

Congress to fund state and local governments for 

narrowly defined purposes. 

4The Agency may waive any provision of this 

guidance that is not required by statute, regulation, 

Executive Order or overriding Agency policies. 

370) to the State Emergency Response 

Commission (SERC) or Tribal 

Emergency Response Commission 

(TERC), Local Emergency Planning 

Committee (LEPC) or Tribal Emergency 

Planning Committee (TEPC) and the 

local fire department (LFD) with 

jurisdiction over their facility. This is a 

one-time requirement unless a facility 

becomes subject to the regulations or 

has updated information on the 

hazardous chemicals that were already 

submitted by the facility. EPCRA 

Section 312 requires owners and 

operators of facilities subject to OSHA 

HCS to submit an inventory form (for 

those chemicals that exceed the 

thresholds, specified in 40 CFR part 

370) to the SERC (or TERC), LEPC (or 

TEPC), and LFD with jurisdiction over 

their facility. This inventory form, Tier 

II (Emergency and Hazardous Chemical 

Inventory Form), is to be submitted on 

March 1 of each year and must include 

the inventory of hazardous chemicals 

present at the facility in the previous 

calendar year. 

On July 13, 2012, EPA finalized 

revisions to the Tier II inventory form to 

add some new data elements which 

would be useful for local emergency 

planners and responders. The ICR No. 

2436.02 was approved by OMB for the 

burden hours and costs incurred with 

these revisions. 

In this renewal for ICR 1352.13, the 

burden hours and costs estimated will 

be merged with the burden estimated for 

ICR No. 2436.02 since the authority for 

collection of information is under 

Sections 311 and 312 of EPCRA. 

Form Numbers: Tier II Emergency and 

Hazardous Chemical Inventory Form, 

EPA Form No. 8700–30. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this ICR are 

manufacturers and non-manufacturers 

required to have available a Material 

Safety Data Sheet (or Safety Data Sheet) 

under the OSHA HCS. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (Sections 311 and 312 of 

EPCRA). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

393,552. 

Frequency of response: Annual. 

Total estimated burden: 4,006,632 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $6,389,900 (per 

year), includes annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is no 

increase in burden in this renewal. 

However, the burden hours and costs 

estimated for the revisions to the Tier II 

inventory form finalized on July 13, 

2012 is merged with the burden 

estimated for complying with Sections 

311 and 312 of EPCRA. The ICR number 

for the revisions to the Tier II inventory 

form is ICR No. 2436.02. The authority 

for ICR No. 1352.13 and 2436.02 is 

Sections 311 and 312 of EPCRA.

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation and Liability 

Act (CERCLA) or Superfund, Section 

128(a); Notice of Grant Funding 

Guidance for State and Tribal 

Response Programs for FY2015 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) will begin to accept 

requests, from December 8, 2014 

through January 31, 2015, for grants to 

supplement State and Tribal Response 

Programs. This notice provides 

guidance on eligibility for funding, use 

of funding, grant mechanisms and 

process for awarding funding, the 

allocation system for distribution of 

funding, and terms and reporting under 

these grants. EPA has consulted with 

state and tribal officials in developing 

this guidance. 

The primary goal of this funding is to 

ensure that state and tribal response 

programs include, or are taking 

reasonable steps to include, certain 

elements and a public record. Another 

goal is to provide funding for other 

activities that increase the number of 

response actions conducted or overseen 

by a state or tribal response program. 

This funding is not intended to supplant 

current state or tribal funding for their 

response programs. Instead, it is to 

supplement their funding to increase 

their response capacity. 

For fiscal year 2015, EPA will 

consider funding requests up to a 

maximum of $1.0 million per state or 

tribe. Subject to the availability of 

funds, EPA regional personnel will be 

available to provide technical assistance 

to states and tribes as they apply for and 

carry out these grants. 

DATES: This action is effective as of 

December 8, 2014. EPA expects to make 

non-competitive grant awards to states 

and tribes which apply during fiscal 

year 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Mailing addresses for EPA 

Regional Offices and EPA Headquarters 

can be located at www.epa.gov/

brownfields and at the end of this 

Notice. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

EPA’s Office of Solid Waste and 

Emergency Response, Office of 

Brownfields and Land Revitalization, 

(202) 566–2745 or the applicable EPA 

Regional Office listed at the end of this 

Notice. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

Section 128(a) of the Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, 

Compensation, and Liability Act 

(CERCLA), as amended, authorizes a 

noncompetitive $50 million grant 

program to establish and enhance state 1

and tribal 2 response programs. CERCLA 

128(a) response program grants are 

funded with categorical 3 State and 

Tribal Assistance Grant (STAG) 

appropriations. Section 128(a) 

cooperative agreements are awarded and 

administered by the EPA regional 

offices. Generally, these response 

programs address the assessment, 

cleanup, and redevelopment of 

brownfields sites and other sites with 

actual or perceived contamination. This 

document provides guidance that will 

enable states and tribes to apply for and 

use fiscal year 2015 section 128(a) 

funds.4

The Catalogue of Federal Domestic 

Assistance entry for the section 128(a) 

State and Tribal Response Program 

cooperative agreements is 66.817. This 

grant program is eligible to be included 

in state and tribal Performance 

Partnership Grants under 40 CFR part 

35 Subparts A and B, with the exception 

of funds used to capitalize a revolving 

loan fund for brownfield remediation 

under section 104(k)(3); or purchase 

insurance or develop a risk sharing 

pool, an indemnity pool, or insurance 

mechanism to provide financing for 

response actions under a State or Tribal 

response program.
